Summary
Our plastic pallets are an alternative to wooden pallets. They are lightweight, durable and hygienic to ensure that each pallet maintains cleanliness standards.
Plastic pallets can be hot washed, steam cleaned or chemically sterilised.
Other features include:
Opting for plastic pallets can offer a multitude of advantages for businesses. Firstly, plastic pallets are renowned for their durability and longevity, as they are resistant to moisture, chemicals, and pests. This robustness translates into a longer lifespan and cost savings in the long run.
Additionally, they are significantly lighter than their wooden counterparts, making them easier to handle and reducing transportation costs.
Plastic pallets are also consistent in size and weight, which streamlines logistics and ensures a more organised and efficient storage system. Furthermore, they are hygienic, as they can be easily cleaned and do not absorb liquids or odours, making them ideal for industries with strict hygiene standards.
Despite being plastic, which does not translate in most use cases to eco-friendly, pallets are an environmentally friendly choice, as they are recyclable and can be used multiple times, reducing waste.
Overall, choosing plastic pallets can enhance a business’s operational efficiency, lower costs, and contribute to sustainable and responsible business practices.

Many industries, such as pharmaceuticals and food, require pallets to be temporarily, or permanently stored within a fridge or freezer. Our plastic pallets are therefore ideal, as they can be comfortably stored to a temperature of minus 30.
The exact life cycle of our pallets isn’t immediately easy to quantify, as they are of such a high standard, but they frequently last upwards of five years – although they can longer, though this is subject to handling.
